2/28 I'm looking for a recommendation of a compiler/IDE to use to
develop C/C++ code under Linux. In school, we used jove/gcc and
I still use emacs/vi and gcc to this day. However, it is really
lacking. Under Windows I tried Visual Studio and there were some
really nice things about it, although it was so overwhelming that
after 6 months of occasional use I still didn't really know what I
was doing. I don't need something that powerful. I would like a
visual editor that allows me to compile from within, preferably
with make. If it has a debugger, too, that's great but not a
requirement. I'd like something simple and easy to learn/use. It
doesn't have to be free, but that's a plus.
Ones I have found: Eclipse , Anjuta , KDevelop, Code::Blocks
Any experiences with these or others?
\_ No opinions? This is the CSUA, right?
\_ I've been using emacs + gcc as my development environment
since the early 90s and I don't find it lacking and have
been largely frustrated by IDEs (XCode, CodeWarrior, Visual
Studio, &c.), so I can't really recommend anything to this
poor poster. My guess is that many people on the motd feel
the same as me, hence the lack of responses.
\_ emacs to edit source files then whatever IDE u want to compile
\_ We use IDEA here, which is pretty good but I think Java specific.
It's also a big resource hog. I tried Eclipse for a short while,
it seems to do normal IDE things ok (e.g. jumping to method
definitions, finding references to a method call, etc). |
